So why did I spend $13 on this …
What kind of basement did this come out of… wild.

One that smelled like cigarettes and had lots of orange glass.

You think the shag carpet walls would smell or look any different?
@Weston
It actually produces its own special odor that even cigarette smoke can’t tame.
Here’s a little retail trick. Mark something up really high, then put it on sale for what it should’ve cost. People think they’re getting a great deal!

That’s why I’ve been getting emails from Discount Tire for over 100 weeks about their $160 discount ‘sale’ on tires. 
@Shannon
Didn’t the My Pillow guy get in trouble for that? If you run the same sale too long, it’s just the product price and false advertising.

So you’re saying his sales weren’t all they were cracked up to be.

Probably. Even the ‘sale price’ on those pillows seemed ridiculous.

Discount Tire/American Tire is pretty legit though.
They’ve given me excellent service for the past 16 years. I just find their emails amusing.

This is basically Marshall’s marketing strategy.

We call that Keystone Pricing in retail. If you look at the item number/barcode on many hats, shirts, balls, etc., the last four digits backward often show the cost.
If a shirt has a number like 00000053, it costs the club $35 and will be priced at $70.
Just a tip.
Of course, there are exceptions, but this pattern holds for many items.

That’s the Jos. A Bank business plan.

It works every time.
@Skylar
60 percent of the time.
@Skylar
I guarantee it.

These look ancient. Strange that they’re even on the shelf.
And… Marshalls sells golf balls?
